System management features Dell commercial systems come with several systems management options that are included by default for In-Band management with our Dell Client Command Suite. In-Band management meaning that the Operating System is functional, and the device is connected to a network so that it can be managed. The Dell Client Command Suite of tools can be leveraged individually or with a systems management console like SCCM, LANDESK, KACE. We also offer Out-of-Band management as an option. Out-of-band management is when the system does not have a functional operating system or is turned off and you still want to be able to manage the system in that state. Dell Client Command Suite for in-band systems management Dell Client Command Suite is a free toolkit available for download, for all Latitude Rugged tablets at dell.com/support, that automates and streamlines systems management tasks, saving time, money, and resources. It consists of the following modules that can be used independently, or with a variety of systems management consoles such as SCCM. Dell Client Command Suite's integration with VMware Workspace ONE Powered by AirWatch, now allows customers to manage their Dell client hardware from the cloud, using a single Workspace ONE console. Dell Command | Deploy enables easy operating system (OS) deployment across all major OS deployment methodologies and provides numerous system-specific drivers that have been extracted and reduced to an OS-consumable state. Dell Command l Configure is a graphical user interface (GUI) admin tool for configuring and deploying hardware settings in a pre-OS or post-OS environment, and it operates seamlessly with SCCM and Airwatch and can be self-integrated into LANDesk and KACE. Simply, this is all about the BIOS. Command l Configure allows you to remotely automate and configure over 150+ BIOS settings for a personalized user experience.

System management features
Dell commercial systems come with several systems management options that are included by default for In-Band management

connected to a network so that it can be managed. The Dell Client Command Suite of tools can be leveraged individually or with
a systems management console like SCCM, LANDESK, KACE.
We also offer Out-of-Band management as an option. Out-of-band management is when the system does not have a functional
operating system or is turned off and you still want to be able to manage the system in that state.
